AM5 mobo swap - 20 minute boot times and chugging CPU
35 minutes ago, RedTeamBry said:As a new discovery, the stuttering and random CPU usage does not occur in safe mode or safe mode with networking. Reboots while safe mode is enabled also doesn't take 20 minutes like normal boot does, though it still takes a few minutes.
To my knowledge, this indicates some kind of driver or Windows configuration issue? Rather than faulty or incompatible hardware?
Yes everyone in this thread is correct (including you about safe mode). You're re-using an old OS that was installed on a previous generation of hardware. In addition, the title of the thread should NOT be AM5 Mobo swap because an AM4 mobo being replaced with a AM5 Mobo is a huge change. You also changed the CPU since AM4 CPUs won't fit in an AM5 socket. The thread title should be: Used old SSD in new build without OS re-install.
Safe mode doesn't load any of the (incorrect) drivers, so I'm not surprised it works better.
If you don't want to be troubleshooting issues from now until the end of time, you should install Windows fresh.
That being said, if you really want to play with fire, you need to:
- Go to Control Panel and uninstall any device drivers that are removable from there
- Uninstall all RGB software you may have
- Uninstall & re-install things like Logitech G-Hub, and any other software that interacts with drivers in the OS
-
Go into Device Manager and remove most drivers, from chipset, so USB, to NIC etc.
- I don't have to time to write-up a full walkthrough... if you remove the wrong driver the computer may crash or not boot
- Install the correct drivers in Device Manager
-
Usual suspects will be:
- AMD Chipset Driver
-
Storage Drivers
- I.e. if you installed the Samsung NVME driver, need to uninstall it and re-install it
- Need to use DDU to remove all graphics drivers and re-install
- USB host controller drivers also need to go (and probably a lot of other stuff)
Sorry for the very vague and non-exhaustive write-up, but it's just too complicated to summarize quickly and depends on what software and hardware you've installed.
